Application / Intended Use
Ammonium chloride is used as a nitrogen source and a flux. Textile and leather processing uses it in dyeing and tanning baths; galvanising and soldering operations use it to clean metal surfaces before the coating is applied; bakeries use food-grade material as a yeast nutrient in dough at very low inclusion. It is also the electrolyte in zinc-carbon batteries.
